لَن يَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَلَـٰكِن يَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ   

22:37  Neither their meat nor blood reaches Allah. Rather, it is your TAQWA that reaches Him. This is how He has subjected them to you so that you may proclaim the greatness of Allah for what He has guided you to, and give good news to those who do good.
 
Basically they are selling the same kambing over and over again to many people. There is a simple reason for this. This is the sacrificial kambing during the pilgrimage rites. The people who perform the sacrifice do not actually eat the kambing that they sacrifice. It is symbolic - part of the necessary rites of the pilgrimage. So the local guys (Arab guys) collect money from more than one person but they sacrifice the same kambing. Say they collect money from 10 people (for the total price for 10 kambing) but they sacrifice only ONE kambing. So the Arab fellow makes a buta profit over NINE kambing.
If these fellows can sell the same kambing TEN TIMES over, then for every 1,000 pilgrims they only need 100 kambing.  It will certainly reduce the total population of kambing needed for the pilgrimage sacrifice.
The way out of being cheated like this is quite simple - just say I want to keep all the meat from the kambing that I sacrifice. I paid for the kambing so I will take all its meat and I will take care of the meat (share it, distribute it, eat some etc). Problem solved.
But how and where will they store, distribute or cook and eat say 50 kilos of kambing meat? There are no kitchen facilities or cooking facilities.

The same 'business model' was (or maybe still is) being done here.  There used to be the 'waqaf Quran' people hanging out at some shopping complexes and supermarkets. They will set up a table, they will have a beautiful Quran spread out on the table and they will 'sell a share' of the Quran. Also known as waqaf donations.
They will say that they are buying / producing quantities of the Quran in some new format, and then donating the Qurans to orphanages, or donating the Qurans to Muslims in other countries etc and you are invited to contribute in charity  to make the venture a success. So minimum 'donation' could be RM30, RM50 etc.
So one day I asked one of these fellows how much was the full cost of each copy of the Quran that he had on the table and he said something like RM100.00. So I said 'Can I pay you RM100.00 now and get my own copy of the Quran?' The guy absolutely panicked. He said 'Tak boleh'. (Because he had only ONE COPY of the Quran). He was 'selling' the same Quran over and over again.
Just like the kambing fellows, these people are also scammers. They collect as much money as they can from 'unsuspecting' people by making people believe that if they donate RM1,000 (as an example), then they will be 'donating' 10 copies of the Quran. If they donate RM10,000 they will be 'donating' 100 copies of the Quran etc.

That will not happen. Just like the kambing scam in the video above, they may have only ONE Quran on the table but they will collect as much money as they can for the same Quran.
Lets say they collect RM5,000. They may donate only RM100.00 (ONE copy of the Quran) and pocket the remaining RM4,900 as their "administrative fees".
Remember folks. No money no religion.
